Gales Tree.jpg

Taken on a bitterly cold day. Had to come down off the top of the mountain because I was Blue , the wind was strong and biting, swirling everywhere. Spotted this tree on the way down and timed the shot for when the leaves were blowing up.

Excellent image and composition :) You got a perfect timing to capture too the falling leaves that adds a nice effect on the photo :) Surely gets my vote. :)

Guy Dube		28-Feb-2006 13:22
A very nice shot Adrian, too bad it was so cold! Sometimes we have to suffer to get a good picture! I know about it with the hard winter we have here, the cold!! Best regards Guy

GMV. Awesome!

nordic		26-Feb-2006 09:53
This is a difficult image to pull off, you have created a great image that's full of atmosphere, movement and the harshness of winter (I've never been able to get one this good). Excellent (gmv)

Sounds exactly like a weather report from here today. Great tree silhouette.

Fully agree with the 1000 or so commentators here - this is a markable work !!!!!

royalld		25-Feb-2006 19:40
Yes I can feel the bitter cold. Good timing with the leaves.

Vipin Mayer		25-Feb-2006 19:27
Wonderful shot, it looks great from this low angle , and the sepia tone makes it very interesting.

Guy Bruyea		25-Feb-2006 17:47
Another creative effort Adrian. Excellently done! GMV.

James Ross		25-Feb-2006 14:43
Another great one Ade! amazing timing. :-)

Jola Dziubinska		25-Feb-2006 14:33
Wonderful composition and monochrome treatment. GMV.

Sharon Rogers		25-Feb-2006 13:40
Great timing!

JD		25-Feb-2006 12:16
The tree, the light, the contrast, the composition, the treatment, all are perfect. And on top of that you have the leaves, that must have been very close to the camera, as you are using a 10mm. Excellent. I think that you could have told us that this was quails who were scared by the shutter noise. First quails are very trendy right now in the US since they have caused a national event. And second that would made of you a very lucky brilliant photographer instead of a brilliant photographer ;-) GMV

Karen Stuebing		25-Feb-2006 12:14
Wow, this is a fantastic effect. GMV.

Craig Persel		25-Feb-2006 12:13
An amazing shot. The blowing leaves turn this into a mastepiece. Bravo.

David Clunas		25-Feb-2006 12:12

Fantastic shot. The tree has heaps of character. The leaves are, Wow!

Jens Johansen		25-Feb-2006 07:16
Brrrrr! Great shot. Hope you got down safe. Whereabouts is it?

Guest		25-Feb-2006 06:31
The flying leaves gives a magical twist to an otherwise bare tree - so much so it was as if I could feel the wind from your photo. Excellent.

Guest		25-Feb-2006 06:01
One word: Brilliant. Maybe a once-in-a-lifetime capture. Clearly, a seminal image for your. Amazing.

Ferm Graves		25-Feb-2006 05:53
Superb shot. GMV

camms		25-Feb-2006 05:36
Love it. The leaves make it and the mood is intense!

Greg Harp		25-Feb-2006 05:35
Amazing shot. GMV

Guest		25-Feb-2006 03:55
Once in a lifetime shot Adrian, well done!

Lawrence Ripsher		25-Feb-2006 03:46
Adrian - this is quite literally incredible. I think this is my favourite shot of yours ever. Without the leaves it's an excellent shot. With them, it's like something out of this world. I recommend never shooting this tree again and just putting it down to a magical, unrepeatable moment. Absolutely love seeing work of this quality - makes my day. Huge vote man.

Coleen Perilloux Landry		25-Feb-2006 03:42
You can feel the wind in this shot.

gavia_immer		25-Feb-2006 03:42
The way you got the blowing leaves and the tree is really great.

Big Mike		25-Feb-2006 03:32
Great tree shot Adrian, the captured mood is excellent!

Bob Floyd		25-Feb-2006 03:29
Well timed, Adrian. You worked for this one. V.

cat bounds		25-Feb-2006 03:27
Awesome shot, Adrian, and your treatment works really well.

Jen Bixler		25-Feb-2006 03:16
You captured the coldness! Amazing. GMV.

Ann LT		25-Feb-2006 03:15
The blowing leaves really adds to the mood,Adrian!

Celeste C.		25-Feb-2006 03:14
Too cool! Vote!

Katie Chew		25-Feb-2006 02:57
Nice shot

Michael Shpuntov		25-Feb-2006 02:53
This is great shot Adrian. The tree is a real find and blowing leaves simly smashing. GMV

Sue Robertson		25-Feb-2006 02:53
Wonderful shot. I like the sepia tone, it adds to the overall mood.
